update!

Well, exciting days here for us! I just got back from visiting my kids in Bloomington! Oh, how I miss Amy and the students. I'm not joking--I dont know why it is so hard for me to leave them. But, alas, they are doing well and I am still impressed with their talents and their sweet spirits. Some of them truly have hearts that are set on fire for Christ and that is so encouraging for me to see in a high school. I am praying so hard that they can bear fruit among their peers!

As for me, I am substitute teaching in the public schools around Watertown. It is a neat experience to say the least. I enjoy it because every day is different. I have done everything from early childhood to high school, from special ed to phys ed. I can honestly say that I am certain that the Lord did NOT lead me into early childhood for a reason! wow. But everything else has been going really great! I actually enjoy the kids, and am learning alot too. Then, big news for the Fall...(trumpet fanfare) I got a full time teaching offer for Maranatha's academy! I will be teaching speech, drama, and girls Bible. I'll also be directing their plays and coaching the volleyball team--and, teaching one class of speech fundamentals in the college! Crazy, eh? But God put together this awesome package for me with pretty much everything that I love doing! I'm extremely excited...and a little sad to know I won't be in Bloomington, but Amy and I already decided that we are "sister drama departments" and so we'll make it a point to see each other's productions!!!
